“Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?”
Job reminds God that God made him from dust and will return him to dust, invoking the creation account in Genesis and the finite character of human existence. The reminder of human mortality becomes an implicit appeal for mercy toward the transient. The beginning and end in dust frame the brief interval of life.
